God working in you



Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Phil. 1:6

I heard this verse quoted the other day and God spoke to my heart and mind . . . . .

God wants to finish the work that He started in you.  I really believe this.  After you are saved God begins a work in you and use uses many ways to perform it.  First, the Holy Spirit moves and speaks to your heart.  Much the same way He moved on you for salvation. This why it's so important to be saved first, become a child of God, one of His children, and then He works from there.

Secondly, it uses the scriptures.  That learning tool, also the mirror that we can us to correct ourselves. The Old Testament, the Law of God, the Ten commandments can be used on us for salvation and sanctification. But a very big part of your will reading the word and words of God.

Then there will be situations, life experiences, that will come into your life for God to use and to direct you.  There's reason for some things  happen in you life and you should seek God prayerfully and read His word.

But are YOU allowing God to WORK in your life ??

Some of you may have gotten saved and things have gone well, but God leading you and working on you is a distant idea now.  While others of you are interested in God working in you but you have not made the first step.

For me, it's an eye opener, even in this part of my life and years in the ministry. I'm I allowing God to work in my life. For it's about  family.  Am I allowing God to work on me as a Husband?? God wants us to love our wives as Christ loved the church. see Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

And am I allowing God to work on me as a father.  Providing, patterning and praying for my son. You know we can get in the way or we choose another idea for life. But Praise God, it's still in my heart and mind to follow Him. But I have been saved, born again but what about you ??

Dear friend, salvation is always the first things. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then God can start a work in you and will perform it until Jesus' comes.  So only trust Him, only trust Him now, He will save you and keep you, PTL!!

May God bless you friend,

Outstanding

Hello again everybody and especially blog followers. I heard a secular quote this week and God got my attention and moved on my heat and mind, . . . 



I heard the quote, (among people) " If I am going to stand out, I might as well be outstanding!!"

Well, I thought what a great statement and prospective !!

Secular speaking,  If you are a ball player and part of a team, you should want to stand out. As an employee of the company. you should want to stand out.

But how does one do this ?? "Be outstanding"

For a man, who is a Husband and a Father, stand out by being outstanding !! 

Be an outstanding Husband to your wife and be a outstanding Father to your children. (And be an outstanding employee to your employer, well just saying)  :-)

This a very hard task to do, but God promised us, as He promised the Apostle Paul, ' I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthened me) see Phil. 4;13 in the bible NT.


 Notice,
I stood out because I did an outstanding thing (in the past)
I stand out because I am doing a outstanding thing (in the present)
I stand out because I will be doing an outstanding thing ( the future)

You will need God's help and guidance.

 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Psa. 25:4-5
God will cover ALL the bases if you just turn to Him.
Turn ye unto God and He will turn unto you.

But first, to stand out for God is to stand with God. Ye must be saved, born again. You must become a child of God. 
So pray call on God, believe by faith in His son Jesus. For with the heart man believes and with mouth confession is made unto salvation, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord and shall be saved.
And then as you stand our for Him, you will be outstanding with HIM. - Amen !!
May God bless you,
Rev Dan
